If not, that's where to start. Find the utilities directory and you'll see the Terminal utility. Then just click on it and a new terminal window should open. Then enter any perl command, such as whereis perl and voila, you should see perl working.
Let me know if that's not what you need.

I got an iBook recently with OSX 10.2.4. It's UNIX based. Allegedly 10.1+

'Getting started in Perl for Windows'. What now? With Windows, I was
directed to c: and typed perl -MCPAN -e shell or I typed myprogram.pl,
return. I'm new to both Mac and Perl, but not to programming. I don't have
a Perl for Mac book, but what I don't know is the very first practical step:
how to access cpan or run a perl program on the Mac now that I've installed
Perl. I can't find anywhere on the internet telling me 'what next'. Is
there a shell somewhere, do I click something? It would have been nice to
have a readme file with this information rather than have to search high and
low.
